Meetings with Remarkable Muslims is a collection of personal reminiscences of friendships and chance encounters which have left an indelible mark on the author. Throwing a bridge across the divide, it shows how immeasurably richer our lives are for sharing and understanding different cultural traditions - what a source of inspiration they can be.

This diverse collection of writers draws together a world which stretches from Morocco in the west to India in the east. What shines through is a common humanity – shared by both writers and subjects – a need to earn, to love, to protect, to enjoy and to make sense of life.

‘Every political leader in the Western world should be forced to read this book.’ - Nick Smith, Geographical

‘I have rarely come across such compelling travel writing.’- Gamal Nkrumah, Al-Ahram
